Hi All, Strange things are happening on the Filer. We have a F720, with Ontap version 5.3.5R2P2. Users are editing a file, once they quit the editor and look at the file size it is of zero bytes. This is happening quite often. Any solution for this problem. Thanks for snapshots we could retrieve the file back. Though the snapshots are there this is not good. kind regards Bhaskar G Philips Semiconductors, #3, Sterling Square,Madras Bank Road, Off St Mark's Road,BANGALORE-560 001. Voice : … [View More]

Any solution for this problem. Just a thought - have you placed (a) quota(s) that apply to the area where the users are editing the files? If the quota space limit is maxed but the file limit isn't, then … [View More]

Filer Labling. (was: RE: filer Olympics)
by MBrookes＠netapp.com 17 Jul '00

Hi Lance, If you have 700 series machines, there's a slot for labling below the LCD, accessible from behind (ie. you have to pull the front panel off to access it.)

Mehle [mailto:mehlel001@hawaii.rr.com] Sent: 14 July 2000 22:31 To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: filer Olympics For the "Design Improvements" I would like to nominate the following: A panel on the front, ala Sun's e series, with a removable clear panel that you can put in labels for names and IP's. We have over 40 of these machines and wind up having to put stick labels on the front so we can tell which machine is which. If/when we rename or assign a new IP you have to scrap off the old label which scratches the front or leaves a sticky residue on the bezel. This way you could jus pop of the clear plate and stick a new piece of paper in there with the new info! > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com > [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com]On Behalf Of Stephen J.

Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 15:02:42 PDT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed I've got a great idea, how about a "Special Olymics" for filer admins, who are so endowed with time and creativity to persist in continuing this dead horse thread. Just make sure the sharp objects are all safely put away. I guess it's a case of put too many propeller heads in one room, and you can achive critical mass from all the expelled air. When do you say enough is enough already? Well I've … [View More]

fubar, I'm not sure which of us is more confused, as I didn't email anything about Power Tools! However, to reword my post script, when I chose "reply to all" in order to have mathworks included in the receipients, I accidentally removed mathworks rather than scw, thus accomplishing the same thing as a "reply to sender". feel better now fubar?
